The appearance of a child during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, headed by Bad Bunny, caused a wave of comments and theories on social networks.
The idea that it was Liam Conejo Ramos, the five-year-old boy detained with his father by immigration authorities in the United States weeks before, went viral among netizens.
The scene that intensified speculation occurred when the Puerto Rican artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, paused on stage, approached and handed his Grammy to a small child, who was pretending to watch a speech of his on television with his parents.
On platforms like X, some users claimed that the child was Liam Ramos, the protagonist of a story that had moved public opinion.
“DID BENITO GIVE LIAM RAMOS HIS GRAMMY? I didn’t even realize it was him, I thought he was just a childish version of himself. MY HEART,” read one of the most shared messages.
Other users, on the other hand, denied this version and maintained that the child in the scene was the “Bad Rabbit” himself during his childhood, as a symbol of fulfilled dreams and personal improvement.
However, after the wave of rumors, both People and Entertainment Weekly confirmed that the child on stage was not Liam Ramos, but Lincoln Fox, a child actor of Argentine and Egyptian descent.
Verification was carried out through different means: HuffPost editor Philip Lewis identified the minor from his Instagram account, where Fox himself shared a video of the moment and wrote: “I will remember this day forever!”, thanking him for the opportunity and tagging the famous person.
Additionally, through Instagram stories, the young star shared congratulatory comments from her relatives and confirmed that the inspiration for her outfit was a childhood photo of Bad Bunny.
Thus, his presence in the show was interpreted as a way for the singer to pay tribute to his own childhood dreams and offer his past self the greatest recognition of his career.
Bad Bunny’s repertoire for the 2026 Super Bowl included songs like “Titíme asked”, “Yo Perreo Sola”, “I’m going to take you pa’ PR” and “NuevaYol”, as well as fragments of urban music classics such as “Pa que retozen” by TegoCalderón, “Dale don dale” by Don Omar and “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee.
The performance was accompanied by the Puerto Rican salsa band Los Sobrinos, giving the show an atmosphere that pays tribute to the cultural diversity of Puerto Rico.
Martínez Ocasio’s staging integrated a social and cultural message. During the presentation, he displayed flags from different countries and the phrase: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” was projected on the screen.
The end of the show was punctual: the reggaeton player took an American football with the inscription “Together we are America” and threw it into the air, reiterating the idea of unity and diversity in the context of the celebration.
In the previous press conference, he had anticipated that his show would be “a huge party” in which the audience only had to worry about dancing and enjoying themselves, regardless of the language.
Bad Bunny’s performance at the recent edition of the Super Bowl represented an unprecedented presence for the Latin community at the event: for the first time, the halftime show was presented entirely in Spanish, integrating tributes to the Latin American culture and community.
Among other highlights, he included references to the Angelina taqueria Villa’s Tacos and was accompanied on stage by celebrities such as PedroPascal, Jessica Alba, Karol G, Cardi B and Ricky Martin.
A week earlier, the 31-year-old singer received three Grammy Awards: Best Urban Music Album, Album of the Year for DeBí TiRAR MORE FOToS, and Best Global Musical Performance for “EoO.”These recognitions were added to those obtained in previous galas.
